I have anodized aluminum cookware. It was advertised as totally inert, even for tomato sauce. Is that not true?

I recently got a new non-stick pan from Sur La Table that was recommended by Aimee on SimpleBites.net. It is called the Scanpan CTX. WARNING: they are pricy! But I think the money is an investment as I will have it for a LONG time! So far, I’m very happy with it.

Soccy,
Hmmmm…interesting! It sounds a little like Mercola’s stuff, I think. I’d want to talk to someone about whether they know if there’s lead in the ceramic or not. ??? The only thing that worries me about the website is that they don’t share a lot of information…could be greenwashing since they’re not offering up info about lead and such…but interesting nonetheless!!

Have you seen the ORGREENIC line of nonstick cookware? It’s heavily advertised in late night TV. It’s made of alluminum with a ceramic non stick coating. It claims that the ceramic coating is natural, non toxic and will not flake off.

I would love to know your thoughts??

Hiya. I love your site. Thank you for all the research you are doing. I just went upstairs to the kitchen to discover my sheet pans are steel, but my bread pans are aluminum. Years and years ago I a big stack of sheet pans (15×10) at a restaurant supply and they are just awesome – i use them for tons of stuff and have given many away. I really never thought about aluminum in my cooking. I don’t think I will stop using my breadpans at this point, but maybe – that will just have to percolate for a bit.

The aluminum cookie sheets you link to at Amazon don’t have great reviews BTW. Just wanted to let you know, in case you haven’t read the reviews. You might want to read some of the one and two star comments. One commenter mentioned possibly buying this pan instead:

Bailey,
So glad you stumbled onto KS, and hopefully all the tears around here are for joy/relief and not because my posts are so lengthy! I have often pondered posting on Teflon but haven’t said much about it yet…. Katie
